Ava was looking at her phone in an opening of one of the empty rooms of the newly revived Triskellion in DC and the photo was of her and the others back when the team first began, right after Coulson and May started dating.

"You gonna keep staring at the wall or do you wanna get to work?" Richard Rider, one of the most recent members of the team that goes by Nova asks her. His suit is all armor with three circles and likes going through them and a helmet with the Nova Corp signature on top. "I mean, it's a very interesting wall."

"Thought you were still hitting on Kitty." Ava mocks as she and him start walking through the halls.

"She made it clear she's not interested in me." Richard replies.

"The Director in?" Ava wonders.

"He's waiting for you in his office." Richard tells him and Ava goes to the office and sees the chair facing the window.

"The team is waiting for you, Director." Ava says as the chair spins around to reveal Peter Parker wearing an eyepatch over his right eye. "What did we say about the patch?"

"Come on, I make this look good." Peter defends.

"Either loose the patch, or I'll give you a reason to have it." Ava warns him while drawing her claws and Peter removes the patch fast and they make their way through the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

Coulson retired as Director a while back and he is now living out his retirement with May, happily married with their five year old daughter, Mary, in memory of their friend and Peter's mother.

When he retired, Peter was the most obvious one to choose to take over Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and it has never been better.

"How do we look?" Ava asks as Peter hands her the Index of new recruits that they chose.

"Well, were not exactly the old team." Peter says, since most of the team is either retired or still work within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fitz-Simmons are still the heads of the Sciende Division, Deke still helps out with anything he can make from his future knowledge. Mack is still around and helps out with training new recruits. He and Yo-Yo got married and had a son who doesn't seem to have any abilities like his mother as they know yet.

Daisy also helps with training, but it's mostly for the Next Avengers in case they ever needed to go up against someone like her powers. She and Deke started dating a few years back, which surprised and didn't surprise people.

Natasha likes to stick around and see how things are going but is mostly retired, but that doesn't stop her from getting involved or help train the Next Avengers in hand to hand combat.

MJ and Ned even joined in for S.H.I.E.L.D. as Ned is their eyes and ears for anything extraterrestrial, inhuman, or mutants who started appearing a few months after the reset of the multiverse years ago. MJ is one of their best Field Agents as she got training from May, Natasha, and Daisy, but Peter has the tendency to worry about her as she likes going on the most dangerous missions they can offer.

Hey, Peter's allowed to worry about his wife. That's right. They got married just last year and promised to keep it professional in the workplace. It worked for her, but not much for him. As of now, she's on a special assignment in Wakanda after they got news of new mutants hiding there.

"We've got some good ones in here." Ava admits, liking the new recruits.

"They might be good on their own, but they're not a team." Peter tells her.

"Then let's start beating them into shape." Ava says as they enter the large training area and look at their old and new recruits.

Robert Drake, the Iceman. One of the first mutants they came across.

Kate Bishop, the next Hawkeye.

Cassie Lang, Stature.

Doreen Green, Squirrel Girl.

Flash Thomson who accidentally bonded with an alien symbiote and became Agent Venom.

Kamala Kahn, ms. Marvel, still as jittery and excited as she always was.

Laura, X-23, with a newly upgraded suit that still has the original design.

Anjelica Jones, Firestar, who is their newest recruit and is ready to prove herself.

Kitty Pryde, Shadowdat, ready to bring the pain any way she can.

Peter looks around and smiles at his work.

He then smiles and knows if it weren't for that fateful day, the day he lost one family, he wouldn't have this family.

He traveled the world, traveled the stars, traveled the multiverse and saved it twice.

If it weren't for his parents giving their lives for him, he wouldn't be standing here now.

"Avengers, welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy." Peter tells them and pulls out the EDITH glasses.

"Oh, god not again." Kamala complains.

"What are those?" Anjelica asks.

"EDITH, activate training protocol XM-14." Peter says as the drones all come flying in and start up a hologram of the world in ruins with giant robots that can copy their abilities everywhere.

"Let's do this!" Richard says and the team all charges at the fake robots.

Ava and Peter watch from the top as they fight as they're joined by Natasha watching their team fight.

"You guys are doing great." Natasha compliments.

The future is in great hands.

It's in their hands.

In the hands of the Next Avengers.
